My World

i turned my head to stop the light

you held a candle and a silver knife

the words were black the words were cold

i'd never given thought to your fools gold

in my world

constricted

by the hands of definition - here

i've taken

and beaten all the ways

they've complicated me

in my world i need rebirth

i turned my voice to another cause

they've sent morality to fight on distant shores

i've held the truth i've held despair

deep in my lungs dyed as black as my hair

in my world...

i need to be

someone with some worth

i've turned this water into blood

i've spent so many years lost in this flood

in my world

constricted

by the hands of definition - here

i've taken

and beaten

all the ways they've complicated

all the ways they've reinvented

all the ways they've devastated

all the ways they've desecrated me
